Who is it for?

The Professional Scrum Master – Advanced (PSM-A) (former PSM 2) training is perfect for experienced Scrum Masters looking to step up their game, advance their skills and maximize their impact. As PSM-A is an advanced course, it is recommended to complete the PSM 1 training course first.

Requirements

Taking part in the PSM-A course requires at least one year of working experience as a Scrum Master or Agile Coach.

PSM-A is an advanced training following the Professional Scrum Master 1 (PSM 1) course. However, completing the PSM 1 training first is not required, just recommended.

Basic knowledge of Scrum or experience working in an Agile environment is required. Participants should have a fundamental understanding of the Scrum framework and its principles.

The PSM-A training will teach you nothing new about Scrum but will help you better understand your accountabilities and how you can improve your Scrum Master skills.

Why should I do this training?

Boost your impact as a Scrum Master or Agile Coach and enhance your leadership role to accelerate team development

Exam and Certification

After completing the Professional Scrum Master- Advanced (PSM-A) (former PSM 2) training course, you will receive an exam code from Scrum.org. This code is valid indefinitely, allowing you to take the PSM 2 exam online whenever you choose and obtain your PSM 2 certificate.

However, if you take the exam within 14 days of receiving the exam code, you will receive a new attempt for free in case you fail the exam. If you take the exam – and fail – after those 14 days, you will have to retake the exam at your own expense ($250), as those costs are not included in the training price.

If you pass the PSM 2 exam (score above 85%), you will:

  • Receive the Scrum.org Professional Scrum Master 2 (PSM 2) certificate and badge.
  • Become a lifelong member of the Scrum.org community.
  • Get included in the global Professional Scrum Master database.

What else
should I know?

After registering for the PSM-A training, you will receive a confirmation email with practical information. A week before the training, we will ask you about any dietary requirements and share literature if you need to prepare.

See you soon!
